Hi there,
If my question sounds stupid please forgive me in advance. I just need your comment. Is there any significant difference among the quartz movements of the quartz watches out there? I suppose the movement is the most important part of the watch. So it should define the price and the quality of a watch. Therefore, i understand if Omega claims to be the top brand when it comes to automatic. Just like BMW engine /which is the car movement/ is much better than Ford engine /nothing personal here/ so based on that, but not only, characteristic BMW is a better and more expensive car than Ford. But as far as i know the quartz is not something that depends on the "know-how" availability, technical capability or craftsmanship. Just like the nails used in construction in the US are the same as the nails used in UK. So other than the design, materials, name, prestige, history etc.,how a $1400 quartz Omega watch is better than $20 quartz Swatch or any other cheap timepiece? In what way the quartz movement in Omega /or any other top brand/ is different so it defines higher price and better quality. Thank you!
